Personally, I have used Restor-A-Finish and have been very happy with the results. No, they didn’t pay me to say that. But I will disclose that the Howard Company, the maker of the product, is a frequent advertiser in Antique Trader.

But I got to thinking and wondering about the Antique Trader readers’ views of re-touching and restoring, which led to this week’s Antique Trader Question of the Week:

What are your personal views on antique restoration? Do you feel a touch-up here and there makes a piece all the better? Or should antiques be left all-original, all the time?
